movie.
you know that idea about your life being a movie... and would it be a movie you would want to watch? well... i was thinking... as i drove around my old neighbourhood tonight... in search of old landmarks, screaming along with the shins... that were my life a movie, you may have taken that drive tonight as an opportunity to take a pee... or even pop some popcorn. you may have left the room during that scene... because it didn't seem important in the least. but you know what? those are the scenes that make my movie. those are the important scenes. that is why my life... the one i will remember... would not make a good movie. because you would miss the good parts... because the good parts... the real parts... would just look so boring projected on a screen.

you told us of your new life there
you got someone comin round
gluing tinsel to your crown
he's got you talking pretty loud
you berate remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
you say you're still in love
if it's true what can be done
it's hard to leave all those moments behind...
